Summary: Excellent Reading for both parent and child
Comment: "I Love My Hair" by N.A Tarpley is a lovely book for children about self-acceptance. The story effectivly portrays a positive side of African American culture that is often ridiculed - Black hair. Through internalized racisim and negative media images the ugly seeds of self-hatred and shame often take root in many young African American children. These negative images about their Afrocentricity often lasts far into adulthood. Tarpley did a wonderful job reversing such negative images. Kudos to E.B. Lewis! His creative artistic talents tell a story about African American idenity, beauty and acceptance. His illustrations stood alone in successully describing the story just as effectivly as the author's words. My daughter was elated when I presented this book to her. Imediately upon viewing the illustration of the little brown skinned girl with braided hair on the cover of the book, she looked up at me with joy in her eyes and a smile on her face and said, "Oh, Mommy she looks just like me!"

Summary: Loving Your Hair
Comment: Natasha Anastasia Tarpley introduces us to Keyana in her book I LOVE MY HAIR! It is an account of Keyana's displeasure of the nightly ritual of having her hair combed. Her mother tenderly coddles her and washes away her cries with words of comfort and pride in having hair that can be styled in any way. She shares stories with her to help the time go by and to take Kenyana's mind off of her hair.
I LOVE MY HAIR! is a beautiful story of mother and daughter and instills pride in oneself while at the same time validates the importance of bonding with your children. The illustrations of E. B. Lewis vividly display various hairstyles and the flowing words of Tarpley's story.

Summary: Hooray for Ethnic Hair!
Comment: As the cacausian mother of an African-American daughter, I am grateful for this book. My daughter hates having her hair combed. She has always cried and begged me not to do it. So I bought this book. Now she looks at the pictures and reads about Keyana and her hair while I comb through her own. It not only gives her something to do, but she doesn't feel singled out any more! Thank you to the makers of this title.
